In its 90-page motion, prosecutors included numerous messages that allegedly show May moving from the Kik application messaging site he favored to discuss materials, to his personal devices within minutes, talking about work and other activities intertwined with the sending and receiving of suspect illicit videos.

There is “no way” to tell the story of the charged distributions if the government is required to hide evidence from the jury, the prosecution wrote. The uncharged acts are not different, or “other bad acts.”

The prosecution added there were numerous other instances where he allegedly took very specific conversations and activity from his Kik account onto his private devices, including his password-protected cell phone and laptop.

May also specifically criticized a Homeland Security Investigations agent, Britton Lorenzen, and wrote the agents had a “reckless disregard for the truth” and misled a federal magistrate judge when she got a search warrant approved for the raid of his home.

The prosecution’s case doesn’t rely on images and videos found on May’s device. Their evidence includes piecing together evidence from anonymous postings on Kik that directly lead back to the IP addresses, or specific locations of one of May’s cell phones and laptops.

May is also attempting to throw out any mention of his travel history or alleged acts while traveling and any mention of an aligned alias, “Eric Rentling.”

The motion is a reference to the prosecution’s original filing to detain him when he was arrested. In that documentation the U.S. Attorneys Office accused May of traveling to South America to meet with prostitutes he communicated with under a false-named Facebook account, Eric Rentling.

May’s trial is set to begin Oct. 9. The next hearing is scheduled for Sept. 24.
